Joints, in particular the knees, can be damaged through excessive strain or acute injury. Wear and tear can occur in people who are especially active and this can cause pain and stiffness that may get worse with age.

Whatever the cause of joint pain, you can usually manage it with various available treatments and physical therapy however you should always consult your doctor in order to identify what is causing your pain.
